Peter, We've been looking for area rugs for more than a year. We hit all of the obvioius local stops: Southern Lifestyles, Rug World, Best Flooring, Target, Home Depot, and Lowes, and of course, the internet--and had almost given up. We just bought two (an 8X10 and a5X8) from the Rug Rat at Marion Market. They tend to have more contemporary designs but it was what we were looking for. Rug World has more traditional carpeting and yes at a steep price. Like so many things in life, it's timing. The furniture stores are constantly replenishing their area rugs as they sell usually right off the floor. We were skeptical about Marion Market because we don't normally do flea markets but we were pleasantly surprised.
